I had the wrong profile working when I asked Hermes to develop a couple of skills and now want to to transfer them to another profile. GPT tells me to copy the skills folder over using bash. Is there another/best/safest way?
The skills I want are in the base Hermes, while I want it transferred into a profile. Thanks!

There isn’t a special “move skills between profiles” command right now.
Safest path depends on whether the target profile already exists:
If the target profile does not exist yet, create it with everything copied from base:
hermes profile create <profile-name> --clone-all
That copies skills along with config, SOUL.md, memory, sessions, cron jobs, etc.
If the target profile already exists and you only want those specific custom skills, copy just those skill folders from:
~/.hermes/skills/
to:
~/.hermes/profiles/<profile-name>/skills/
Each profile has its own skills directory, so copying the specific skill folder is the correct manual transfer path. I’d avoid copying the whole skills/ directory over an existing profile unless you actually want to replace/merge all of its skills.
